Zach Simoneaux unloads Angel Tree gifts from a truck Dec. 10, 2025, at the Salvation Army in Bloomington. Angel Tree registrations, a Salvation Army program that allows donors to buy gifts for children in need, opened Oct. 1 and closed once the program reached capacity at 400 families this year. Families submitted information to the Salvation Army, including proof of residence and their children’s clothing sizes, shoes and toy wish lists, to qualify for the program, which donors then used to purchase gifts.
